Impact of GOODS MVT in SAP

When you enter a goods movement, you start the following chain of events in the system:

1. A material document is generated, which is used as proof of the movement and as a

    source of information for any other applications involved.

2.  If the movement is relevant for Financial Accounting, one or more accounting documents

     are generated.

3.  The stock quantities of the material are updated.

4.  The stock values in the material master record are updated, as are the stock and

      consumption accounts.

      Depending on the movement type, additional updates are carried out in participating         applications.

All updates are based on the information contained in the material document and the financial

accounting document.
